How KASATKIN helps with A/B testing of landing pages

What is A/B testing?

A/B testing is the process of comparing two versions of a single landing page element (e.g., a headline, button, or image) to determine which performs better. It’s a method that allows decisions to be made based on data rather than assumptions.

Why is it needed?

- Identify what truly attracts your audience.

- Optimize landing page conversion rates.

- Reduce customer acquisition costs.

Example: Instead of guessing whether a red or green "Submit Request" button would perform better, you test both versions.

7 steps to conduct A/B testing

1. Define the testing goal

Before starting, clearly identify what you aim to improve:

- Increase button clicks.

- Extend time spent on the page.

- Boost the number of completed forms.

2. Choose the element to test

You can test almost any element on a landing page:

- headlines;

- button text;

- images;

- form placement.

3. Create two page versions

Version A: the current version of the page.

Version B: the modified version.

4. Set up a testing tool

Use platforms like Google Optimize to split traffic between the two versions and collect data.

5. Gather sufficient data

Ensure the test is conducted on a sample size large enough to produce statistically significant results. The more visitors participate, the more accurate the outcome.

6. Analyze the results

Compare the metrics of Version A and Version B to identify which performs better.

7. Implement the successful solution

Once the test is complete, apply the winning changes to the landing page and continue testing other elements.

Frequently tested elements of landing pages

- Headline: Simple and direct phrases often outperform complex ones.

- Call-to-action (CTA): Text like "Get a Consultation" may perform better than "Order Service."

- Button color: Bright colors (orange, red) often outperform neutral tones.

- Form fields: Reducing the number of fields can increase conversion rates.
